I agree that the government oversteps and I see in the article where he was expressing support for formula feeding, but only “unorthodox” views on sterilization. Since I find it hard to believe that the government is against sterilization generally, I find it hard to believe that the guy’s “unorthodox” views on sterilization was simply a pro position.
‘the father expressed “unorthodox” views about the need to sterilise feeding bottles’
I took this to mean that he believed in sterilizing bottles. Maybe I read it wrong. But I will tell you that in Britain, only the cold water, and usually just the cold water tap in your kitchen, is certified ‘clean’ for drinking. The hot water usually just comes from a cistern of water in your loft (attic) that is then heated . Maybe he meant that you didn’t need to sterilize the bottles, but that’s not the way I read it.
